Audiobooks not recognized - Drakon - 2024-11-28
Hi everyone,
i downloaded a audiobook of a game over Steam, which comes chapter separated in both mp3 and wav file format. Since i didn't used the audiobooks feature of Jellyfin so far, i figured i might try it.
Added a new library, followed the structure and naming conventions as laid out here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/books/
But sadly, it doesn't appear to work very well... Jellyfin recognizes the chapter wav files seperately. When i click on the books library, it brings me into a folder view. I can navigate down to the folder where the chapter files are, but it looks like this:
I googled some and found out that i didn't had the "bookshelf" plugin installed, so i installed it, restarted Jellyfin and triggered a full re-scan of the library. But nope, no luck.
Am i missing something? Is perhaps using "wav" files not correct? Or is this just how Jellyfin supports Audiobooks currently? I can technically play them, but it looks very weird and the sorting is also all over...
Installed is Jellyfin 10.10.3 in docker.
Thanks in advance

Audiobook support is ... limited in jellyfin right now. the devs plan to improve it but I think that currently only single file audiobooks are working somewhat. (eg. whole book in one mp3)
You could use audiobookshelf while jellyfin is improving support for this.
